Sense | Description |
Key |
|
|
|
0h | NO SENSE. Indicates that there is no specific sense key |
| information to be reported for the designated logical unit. This |
| would be the case for a successful command or a command that |
| received CHECK CONDITION or COMMAND |
| TERMINATED status because one of the filemark, EOM, or |
| ILI bits is set to one. |
|
|
2h | NOT READY. Indicates that the logical unit addressed cannot |
| be accessed. Operator intervention may be required to correct |
| this condition. |
|
|
3h | MEDIUM ERROR. Indicates that the command terminated |
| with a |
| by a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This |
| sense key may also be returned if the target is unable to |
| distinguish between a flaw in the medium and a specific |
| hardware failure (sense key 4h) |
4h | HARDWARE ERROR. Indicates that the target detected a non- |
| recoverable hardware failure (for example, controller failure, |
| device failure parity error, etc.) while performing the command |
| or during a self test. |
|
|
5h | ILLEGAL REQUEST. Indicates that there was an illegal |
| parameter in the command descriptor block or in the additional |
| parameters supplied as data for some commands (FORMAT |
| UNIT, SEARCH DATA, etc.). If the target detects an invalid |
| parameter in the command descriptor block then it shall |
| terminate the command without altering the medium. If the |
| target detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters |
| supplied as data, then the target may have already altered the |
| medium. This sense key may also indicate that an invalid |
| INDENTIFY message was received |
|
|
6h | UNIT ATTENTION. Indicates that the removable medium |
| may have been changed or the target has been reset. See ANSI |
| |
| attention condition. |
|
|
Bh | ABORTED COMMAND. Indicates that the target aborted the |
| command. The initiator may be able to recover by trying the |
| command again. |
